forces, they are expected to be out of that country by the beginning of next year. and the fbi is investigating a deadly shooting by a border patrol agent. a 32-year-old mother was gunned down in suburban san diego after allegedly hitting the agent with her car. abc's reena ninan joins us live from washington, d.c. with the latest. good morning, reena. >> reporter: good morning to you, ron. the family called the killing senseless and believes the agent involved overreacted but but border police say he acted in self-defense. unjustifiable murder, that's how the family of 32-year-old woman killed by an undercover u.s. border patrol agent feels about their death. >> i love her to the fullest with my heart. >> reporter: this morning they're demanding answers, saying a plainclothes border patrol agent gunned down and killed 32-year-old valeria alvarado in chula vista, california, without reason. >> there's no evidence that my wife threatened a trained officer, you know, a trained

officer, to use lethal force. shoot my wife like that and just not even call an ambulance. >> reporter: the agent's body leaving this very large dent in the windshield on impact smattered with bullet holes. police say that the agents were in the neighborhood to serve a felony warrant when the agent was struck by the woman's car and needed to defend himself. >> and literally ran our agent down. the agent actually was impacted, was hit by the vehicle and carried several hundred yards on the hood before fearing for his life did discharge his weapon to get the vehicle to stop. >> reporter: that's when he fired five fatal blows, according to eyewitnesses, leaving this mother of five with bullet holes in her face, arms and chest and her husband says -- >> yeah, i want justice, yes. whoever shot my wife, that guy, whoever he is, that guy needs to get shot. >> the mother leaves behind five kids ranging in ages from 3 to 17. the investigation continues. and they're awaiting an autopsy report. ron? >> okay, thanks, reena ninan for that report. and a man charged with

killing his girlfriend inside of a state university of new york dormitory has pleaded not guilty. 21-year-old clayton whittemore was arrested yesterday after allegedly beating his girlfriend to death in her room at a suny brockport campus there earlier in the day. police have not released the name of that victim yet. and in spain, protests over government austerity measures turned violent again saturday night. protesters threw rocks at riot police who fought back against the crowds. at least one person was injured in those incidents. this was the third time this week that protesters there in spain and police have clashed. >> and finally, as we all know the old saying, the show must go on, justin bieber's new concert tour got off to a pretty rough start in arizona last night. the singer threw up on stage. check it out right there. video evidence and then ran off only to rush off again. that didn't stop him from going on. he kept performing. >> i want to say thank you for making me feel so comfortable to all my fans. [ cheers and applause ]

>> it's not really a great feeling when you're, you know, you're throwing up in front of a bunch of people. >> trouper that he is, justin bieber went on to finish the nearly two-hour concert. the lesson there as they say in sport, you got to play hurt. dan, keep that in mind. >> and we admire your ability to do such a smooth newscast when you have all that high-priced caffeine coursing through your veins. >> i'll tell you about that a little bit later. a sneak preview. it's pretty good. >> you heard it here. t-minus three days to what could be a pivotal point in the race for president. both president obama and mitt romney have stopped campaigning this weekend instead burrowing into hard-core debate prep cramming their facts and honing their one-liners. it's "your voice, your vote" with just 37 days left until the election. abc's david kerley who usually joins us from washington is here at the desk. good to see you. >> nice to be here. you know, dan, this is a really big debate. this is part performance, part policy. the stakes are always high. but for mitt romney, some are saying it is make or break. and for the president, leading

in the polls, it's a matter of not letting his challenger back into the race. president obama travels to nevada this morning where he will spend the next three days in debate camp reportedly at this posh resort in henderson. and he heads into the debate with the latest gallup tracking poll still showing mr. obama holding a lead. this morning it's six points. >> this is the ball game for mitt romney right now because if he doesn't do well in this debate, it's going to be hard for him to get back in the race. >> reporter: both candidates have checklists. dos and don'ts for the debate. mitt romney has to avoid appearing detached, that he can't relate to average americans. his to-do list, the three cs, show some compassion, that he's competent and that he can, indeed, connect to voters. >> all three of those things, he suffered over the last couple of months, especially the last couple of weeks. this those three cs, that's where he's got to do really well. >> reporter: while they lead in the polls, team obama know that

debates can be a game-changer. so the president will have to look strong and forceful, not passive, and he needs to avoid appearing irritable or impatient, and don't be long-winded. >> they're trying to get him into the mode of being able to answer questions short, concisely and to the point, and so it's much more like his mannerisms, his style and the way he comes across. >> the pressure is on for this first debate, and it could be a huge audience. anywhere between 50 million to 65 million people may actually tune in to see these two men square off on wednesday night. >> all right. we'll be covering it right here on abc. david, thank you. >> thanks to you live, david. and let's bring in the host of abc's "this week," george stephanopoulos. also live for more on this. the goal wednesday night is for each candidate to focus on the other person's weakness. >> no question about it. after seeing ron claiborne's piece, i think it's to avoid a justin bieber moment. but that's right. i think obviously there's much more pressure, as david said, on mitt romney. he's got to force an error out

of president obama. he wants to dominate the coverage coming down to the debate so he can get some momentum. that will mean, on the one hand, be tough and put the pressure on president obama, but at the same time he can't afford to appear mean or, as david said, aloof, so he's going to have a tough balancing act on wednesday night. >> how much pressure is he under right now, mitt romney? >> huge. he is behind right now. he is behind nationally. he is behind in all the battleground states. this is the last big audience that mitt romney is going to have with about 4 1/2 weeks left to go, but, remember, by the time we get to the third debate in late october in the battleground states, you could have had already because of this early voting a third of the voters with votes already in the can. >> and so far the polls at least indicate that mitt romney hasn't been able to capitalize on the economy right now. do you think he can do that with regards to foreign policy? it seems to be a surprising week just now for the president with what's going on in the middle east and this tragic landmark we have in afghanistan, as well. >> that's right. the president also facing a lot of questions about the death of the ambassador in benghazi.

you saw mitt romney doing that over the weekend. the way he's going to win this race is if he convinces those undecided voters that he's got the better answers on the economy. that is still issue number one, two and three. >> it's going to be something you're going to be covering wednesday night during the debate. george, thanks so much. don't forget to watch abc's "this week" later this morning. george's guests include governor chris christie and white house adviser david plouffe. tune in wednesday for our special coverage of "one on one," the candidates debate. 9:00 eastern, 6:00 pacific. a supremely embarrassing week for this nation's airport screeners. not only did abc's brian ross bust one tsa screener for making off with an ipad left at security, but two incidents of loaded guns making it through the x-ray machines undetected. abc's mark greenblatt is at new york's laguardia airport. this morning, mark, good morning to you. >> good morning to you, dan. frequent travelers often

complain about invasive screening procedures here at the airport. now news that not one but two guns made it past security screeners on to airplane s this week has many travelers on edge and worried about their safety. a long line of high-profiled security blunders of tsa came to a head on friday. that's when a loaded .38 caliber like this went undetected by screeners. new orleans hornets executive joshua richardson mistakenly took it with him on a flight from new orleans to newark. and just one day earlier in orlando, officers missed another loaded gun, this time in a firefighter's purse. it made it past security and all the way on to her plane. >> scary but surprising. >> reporter: those lapses came to light. some in congress worry now about what else is slipping through. >> unfortunately, the reports that i get, it's not just this one weapon, it's hundreds of items every day, but it can't be tolerated. >> reporter: in dallas the tsa couldn't keep up with this

65-year-old grandma who carried a gun right past them in january. >> it makes me feel concerned about, you know, what's really going on. >> reporter: even a live animal got through in columbus where bob-bob the cat was hiding in a checked bag bound for disney world. the tsa has had many successes, confiscating 1,100 weapons so far this year, 29 guns just last week alone along with various other knives, tasers and explosives. but when it comes to all of the mistakes, some experts think the tsa's own screeners may need better screening themselves. >> i think it goes back to the type of hiring they did, the educational requirements that they were allowed to put in place which were not high enough in my view. >> reporter: and new this morning, abc news has confirmed that that screener that let that firefighter on to a plane in orlando with a loaded gun has been removed from screening altogether pending further investigation with the tsa telling me that they take any

incident like this, quote, very seriously. bianna? >> a lot of pressure on the tsa. all right, mark, thank you. we turn now to the search for two missing children in tennessee which is intensifying this morning. an amber alert has been issued for a sister and brother ages 7 and 9 who haven't been seen since a fire destroyed their farmhouse and killed their stepgrandparents one week ago. abc's clayton sandell has the latest. >> reporter: there are few clues this morning in a desperate search for 9-year-old chloie leverette and her 7-year-old half brother gage daniel. a fire destroyed the unionville, tennessee, home where the children lived with their grandparents, molli and leon mcclaran. both died in last sunday's blaze and at first everybody thought the kids were killed, too. >> the children were last seen by a neighbor at 6:30, three hours before the fire actually broke out. so we know that they were in close proximity of the home within hours before the fire erupting. >> reporter: but after five days

searching through ashes, police found no signs of chloe or gage. gage's father, christopher daniel, told the associated press they don't think they burned up in the fire. on saturday, they issued an amber alert hoping to generate leads. >> it's extremely frustrating for investigators, particularly when you have children of tender years like these two, and you know that unless they are with someone who had no intention of harming them, that you're very concerned about they have been in harm's way. >> reporter: the clock ticking, the police are now questioning everyone who knew the kids including their parents, who have extensive criminal records, but investigators say they have no suspects and aren't even sure they have a crime. >> the key in this case is the origin of the fire. is it an accident, or is it intentional? >> reporter: questions with so far no answers and two small children still missing. for "good morning america," clayton sandell, abc news, denver. >> and we're all hoping those

children are found. time now to switch gears, and this is football sunday, and finally it's the real deal this time. the official nfl refs are back, this after three weeks of chaos caused by those replacement refs culminating in this horrible call at monday night's packers/seahawks game. the replacement refs became national bad guys, and now one of them is speaking out to abc's john muller, who is with us now. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dan. like most football fans, i was ranting and raving about replacement refs. as much as anyone. after hearing from one of them, it becomes clear, these are not monsters, they're imperfect human beings like the rest of us. and we owe them this much. today, we'd be watching week one instead of week four. >> wilson scrambles to keep it alive. >> reporter: it was the play that changed everything, possibly the worst and most controversial call in nfl history. >> who did they give it to? touchdown! to me it feels like a jennings session. >> the call on the field stands, touchdown.

the game is over. >> reporter: the reaction was fast and furious. >> it was awful. just look at the replay. >> i never seen anything like that in all my years of football. >> reporter: this football fan didn't watch because he was on the field, mike peek, number 77, a replacement ref in that game speaks out for the first time. >> to see the game fall apart at the end, it was one of those things that makes you go back in the back room and cry a few tears. >> reporter: peek had more >> reporter: peek a community college teacher in texas had more experience than most of his fellow fill-ins. 13 years of division i college reffing. he didn't make the official call but he won't second-guess it. >> you know if someone asked me if it's a good call or a bad call, it depends on where you live. the replacement refs, we were at mercy of the crowd. >> reporter: and the mercy of the nation even earning a skit on "saturday night live." >> time of death, 2:15. >> no, no, no, i'm not dead. also it's 4:30. [ whistle ] ♪ replacement refs >> reporter: through all of the

outrage and ridicule, peek says the replacement refs have plenty to proud of. >> we did what we had to do. we kept the league afloat during the preseason and during the first few weeks of the regular season. >> reporter: and what about the standing ovation when the real refs returned thursday night? >> you know, they're the heroes now, they're the stars, they're the saviors of the game. i wish them well. i hope they have a great season. >> a likable guy, right? more than 100% of these replacement refs -- more than 100 of them will be watching these games on their couches and no doubt about it, how nice these guys are, everyone in green bay, wisconsin, for sure is happy about that. guys? >> as you said, likable guy, gracious. thank you very much. appreciate it. time now for the weather and ginger zee in grand rapids, michigan, this morning, where and we're very proud about this, she was inducted into her high school's hall of fame last night. there's the video. ginger, good morning and congratulations. >> oh, my gosh. i cannot say thank you enough to this community. wait till you see the crowd out here. this is pretty wild. we got all of these beautiful kids that came out.

art prize after this, right? all right, so a big good morning. they all love dan, bianna and ron. they wanted to send their love. >> ginger, you managed to gather a bigger crowd today than you even did yesterday, which surprised us. so a lot of people are proud of you and celebrating you. great job, ginger. >> thank you. and now we're going to turn to another inspiring high school story. it started out as a mean-spirited plot that could have been lifted right from the script of the movie "mean girls." a 16-year-old bullying victim is nominated for her high school homecoming court as a cool prank. but this brave girl managed to turn the tables on her bullies. it was the whirlwind weekend that wasn't supposed to be. the hummer limo last night at the homecoming dance. the standing ovation on the football field. sophomore whitney kropp sealing her place on the homecoming court of her upstate michigan high school. just last week, kropp found out her nomination for homecoming queen was a complete prank engineered by bullies. the 16-year-old was so upset,

she thought about killing herself. >> i had actually thought about suicide. i thought i wasn't worthy at ogamaw heights at all. >> reporter: the bullied teen didn't let it get the best of her. with the help of family and friends, a support whitney facebook page was set up receiving 120,000 likes. her story touching hundreds of thousands of people around the country and world. >> i think it's awful what happened to her, and you just want her to know that there are people here for her. >> reporter: in a rally of support, local businesses stepped in, offering her a makeover and donating everything from prom dresses to jewelry to anti-bully t-shirts. flowers came in from as far away as california. on friday at halftime of the homecoming football game, she bravely took the field to accept the nomination. her father walking her down the aisle in the ceremony. the opposing team showcasing banners and signs in support. >> i'm surprised that the team that we are going against is

actually supporting me. it's -- wow, that's overwhelming. seriously, i have no words for this right now. >> reporter: and though kropp didn't win homecoming queen, her courage takes the crown. >> kids who bully are you, do not let them bring you down. stand up for what you believe in and go with your heart and go with your gut. >> she won a lot more than a crown. >> very cool. >> confidence, courage. she looked beautiful. >> she is very brave. very cool. coming up here on "good morning america," an extraordinary inside look at a sensational crime. we have the tapes of a teacher allegedly hiring a hit man to kill a fellow teacher. >> what do you want done with bob meredith? >> i want him killed. >> i want him killed. you heard it right there, and it only gets worse from there. that story coming up. plus, show me the money.

but meredith claims that's not true saying the two barely knew each other talking to our earlier this week. through his door earlier this week. >> never any scuffles or words he can changed? never? >> reporter: police were tipped off two weeks ago. that's when the fbi got involved using an undercover agent posing as the hit man. >> he knows people that will do it? or is he going to do it? >> he would do it, yeah, i mean, here's the deal, you should just talk to the guy. just talk to him. i don't know. how do you want meredith killed? >> anyway he wants. i don't give a [ bleep ]. >> reporter: and the prosecution claims pepe was even willing to have meredith knocked off meredith at a school event. alvarado aftering hearing they the judge indicted not to give him bail. if convicted of the charge of solicitation to commit first degree murder he faces up to 30 years in prison, dan and bianna. we tracked down the court appointed lawyer for pepe, he did not wish to comment on this.
